G'day Shweta!

Thank you for contacting Bitbucket Cloud Support.

The most common issue customers are experiencing related to authentication is due to the deprecation of GIT username/password in favour of App Passwords on 01/03/2022:

You will need to make use of an AppPassword for communicating to GIT via HTTPS.
We have documentation for usage of app passwords at the following link:
https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/app-passwords/#Create-an-app-password

Essentially, when connecting via HTTPS you will use your AppPassword alongside your username seperated with a ":" character.

Therefore if you are authenticating to GIT over HTTPS to push/pull you will need to update your remote URL's to include the AppPassword:

git remote set-url origin https://USERNAME:APP_PASSWORD@bitbucket.org/username/reposlug.git

The same applies when performing git clone:

git clone https://USERNAME:APP_PASSWORD@bitbucket.org/username/reposlug.git

Hope this helps.

Cheers!
